I did a how to on clocking new dials so that the milage matches. Also I would get an aftermarket grill. It would really clean the front up.

Done a mock up off the new sound system on the parcel shelf before I start to wire it all in tomorrow but unsure wether to put it all on parcel shelf as shown in picture below or leave it as just the 6x9s on shelf and put the amp on the little shelf that sits under the glove box...... Any ideas guys??

Nath, think the parcel shelf looks better without the amp. Would you consider mounting the speakers below the shelf? My 306's shelf's speakers are mounted below and it looks clean and neat.

Hey dude yeah you were right the amp is now in the shelf under the glove box so just speakers in the back, they already mounted at the moment but yeah I'm going to get a second self and have a bit play about with it for a different set up but it's looking pretty neat at the moment will get more pics,

Oh and yeah the gaitor ain't going anywhere quick haha [emoji41]

Oh man loads of plans haha, we'll need to find some calibra leather seats for her, then I'm gonna faux suede wrap my door cards and quarter panel trims and possibly the roof liner too. Got a new arch moulding kit in the way so they will be nice and fresh/black. Fit the irmscher front spliter, and do something with the bonnet because it's got quite bad rust on it.

But I think the next job will be fitting the tigra clocks when they arrive and ordering some front lowering springs and fitting them (I already have the rear ones)
